The world was stunned on April 20, 2018 when it was confirmed that Avicii, real name Tim Bergling, was pronounced dead at the age of 28. He was on holiday with friends in in Muscat, Oman and while the cause of death has not officially been announced, his family's statement hinted that he died from an apparent suicide. The statement read:

"Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress.

"When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music. He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace."
